I bought the LG washer and dryer 3 years ago and for 2 1/2 years I've been going crazy! (We have 3 boys and do tons of laundry!) Even if our clothes don't have a strong mildew smell, our towels do, which we use to dry ourselves, so our "just showered" skin smells like mildew! It makes me feel sick and I have resorted to drying myself with paper towels, I swear! To add insult to injury, we lived in a rental for a year while we did our home renovation, and the washer and dryer were some crappy brand about 10 years old and we didn't have ONE problem getting our clothes clean and smelling fresh! It drives us crazy! I have also tried every product on the market that "supposedly" cleans washers, along with vinegar, amonia, baking soda, etc. Nothing works. It's not fair frankly. I could have bought 3 Kenmore washers and 3 Kenmore dryers for the price I paid for the LG!
Try using the tub clean cycle and use a good dose of bleach or vinegear. Here is how to run the tub clean cycle.
• To start the TUB CLEAN cycle:
1. Remove any clothing or items from the washer and close the door.
2. Open the dispenser drawer and add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.
NOTE: Do not add any detergent to the detergent compartments. Excessive suds may be produced and leak
from the washer.
3. Close the dispenser drawer slowly.
4. Power On and then press the Extra Rinse button for 3 seconds. (Prewash option will be selected.)
5. Press the Start/Pause button to start.
6. After the cycle is complete, leave the door open to dry around the washer door opening, door seal and
door glass.
